Snowmelt

I give thanks for the way you melt my ice, when my peaks have frozen, from over exposure, to poisonous echoes from the past… ~ A poem about recovery from trauma.

Shamanic Healing… and the Shaman’s Way

I notice more and more these days, my hesitation around the word “shaman”. Even if I myself identify as being on a shamanic path. Perhaps it is because of how much I have seen this label misused; and with kind of an underlying arrogant assertion as to an individual’s power and mastery of connection toContinueContinue reading “Shamanic Healing… and the Shaman’s Way”

When Everything Crumbles…

… To come back together again more perfectly. The other morning I was sitting on my balcony, sharing a smoke of tobacco with my partner. Tobacco gifted to me from the Ngobe Indigenous, in southern Costa Rica. Tobacco that has been used by many indigenous peoples in sacred tradition and ceremony, long before this plantContinueContinue reading “When Everything Crumbles…”

Tests and challenges,before we’d finally cometoContinueContinue reading “The Eve of Truce”

Blood Stains on Paradise Shores

Oh how it pains me to see these marks; like the ocean, is bleeding… Signs of the red tide, the toxic algal bloom that’s being worsened in frequency and intensity, by human pollution. How it pains my heart; that I want to run from the ocean that has always cleansed my soul, and indeed thisContinueContinue reading “Blood Stains on Paradise Shores”
